Oh, and she’ll be kicking off her televised concert with “Hello” because “it’d be a bit weird if it was like halfway through the set.”
Adele will be giving a warm “Hello” to her fans to start off her upcoming concert special Adele One Night Only, and in a new interview, she explained to Oprah Winfrey what else the song started for her.
In a minute-long snippet from the primetime special that was released on Wednesday (Nov. 10), the English pop superstar sits down with Winfrey in a similar setup to the host’s viral Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tell-all interview from this past spring. The two discuss the deeper meaning behind the opening track of her forthcoming televised set, her 2015 smash “Hello,” while Adele jokes that “I’m always going to have to start with ‘Hello.’ It’d be a bit weird if it was like halfway through the set.”
She later describes the song as “the beginning of me trying to find myself, and I hadn’t figured out yet what it was that I had to do for that. But when I wrote it, it was a real ode to like, little me, older me, all of these things,” the singer tells Winfrey while sitting across from her in a beautiful rose garden. “It’s just a song about like, ‘I’m still here.’ Like, ‘Hi, I’m still here, I still exist in every aspect of my life.'”
